Conversion object by namespace

Question

I need to convert \"flat object\" like this (input data):

{
   \'prop1\': \'value.1\',
   \'prop2-subprop1\': \'value.2.1\',
   \'prop2-subprop2\': \'value.2         


        

Answer 1

You could use a function for spliting the path to the value and generate new objects for it.

function setValue(object, path, value) {
    var way = path.split('-'),
        last = way.pop();

    way.reduce(function (o, k) {
        return o[k] = o[k] || {};
    }, object)[last] = value;
}

var object = { 'prop1': 'value.1', 'prop2-subprop1': 'value.2.1', 'prop2-subprop2': 'value.2.2' };

Object.keys(object).forEach(function (key) {
    if (key.indexOf('-') !== -1) {
        setValue(object, key, object[key]);
        delete object[key];
    }
});

console.log(object);
